Dear Scotts Contracting,

I wanted to share some great news and congratulate our friends at 350.org:

A few weeks ago, 350.org activists delivered a request to the White House to put up solar panels (along with a gift of one of the White House solar panels from the Carter Administration!).

This morning, the Obama Administration announced it would put up solar panels and a solar hot water heater on the White House by spring 2011!

Help keep the momentum going! Join with 350.org and all of us this weekend for the Global Work Party on 10/10/10. It will be an historic global day of action to stop climate change and get to work on building the clean energy economy of the future.

This Sunday, we will join 350.org in sending politicians around the world a clear message: "We're getting to work - what about you?" So far, over 6200 events in 185 countries are planned for 10/10/10 - truly a remarkable movement.

So, we urge you to look up 350.org to see what's going on in your area, make a difference and join in the fun.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth
